"Human Nature and Conduct: An Introduction to Social Psychology" by John Dewey is a philosophical treatise focusing on social psychology, likely written in the early 20th century. The work explores the intricate relationship between human behavior, moral principles, and social environments, emphasizing how habits shape personal and societal conduct. Dewey's engagement with the concept of habit as a central element in human interaction sets the stage for a deeper examination of morality's connection to human nature and social conditions. The opening of Dewey's work introduces the premise that traditional moral views often regard human nature with suspicion, leading to a disconnection between morality and the realities of human behavior. He critiques the historical pathologizing of human nature by moralists and explores how societal structures influence individual actions. Dewey argues that understanding habits—a synthesis of impulses and intelligence—is crucial for a more realistic approach to social psychology, positing that moral principles should be grounded in an empirical study of human nature and societal conditions rather than abstract ideals. Through this exploration, he suggests a more integrated and practical framework for discussing morality within the context of human conduct. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
